Chapter 6 Zhang Liao's Attack on Yanzhou
After Zhao Yun obtained the annexation of the state, he began to reorganize the army.
Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses are okay to fight a good battle, but it is absolutely impossible to fight a tough battle, especially the infantry against the cavalry of the Huns.
Therefore, it is expected that it will take at least three months to complete the reorganization of the army.
So we move on to the progress of the other armies.
Zhang Liao of Qingzhou was ordered to attack Yanzhou from Dongjun. Guo Jia is a military advisor.
Yan (yǎn) Prefecture (古作 "沇州"), one of the ancient Kyushu, is located at the junction of present-day western Shandong and Hebei in Shandong, between the ancient Yellow River and Gujishui.
In the 11th year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (35), Yanzhou was governed in Changyi (now Changyi Town, Juye County, Heze City, Shandong), and had jurisdiction over Chenliu, Dongjun, Rencheng, Taishan, Jibei, Shanyang (now Yanzhou belongs to Shanyang County, and the seat of governance is in Juye County, Heze City), Jiyin, and Dongping, with a general range of eight counties in the western part of present-day Shandong and the eastern part of Henan.
Among the eight counties, Taishan County has long been in the hands of Zang Ba, and no task was assigned to him this time. But Zang Ba felt that he couldn't let go of this last opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so he took the initiative to ask to attack the nearby Jibei County. Gongsun Kang agreed to his request.
Cao Cao's center of gravity has shifted to Chang'an. He sent heavy troops to guard several passes into the pass. For example, Hangu Pass and Tongguan Pass.
And Yanzhou and Yuzhou have begun to give up. Even Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was relocated to Chang'an by him.
Therefore, Zhang Liao and Zang Ba only encountered resistance from the local county soldiers, and they were not Cao Cao's main force at all.
With the power of bed crossbows, stone throwers and fire oil, nothing is unstoppable.
Yanzhou is the land of Cao Cao's dragon prosperity, so Cao Cao is still very kind to the people of Yanzhou.
Although Cao Cao killed rivers of blood in Xuzhou and set fires everywhere, in Yanzhou, he still had to pretend.
There is a little story: the head of the hair cutting illustrates this point.
Cao Cao, the prime minister of the late Eastern Han Dynasty and later the king of Wei, was a famous politician and military strategist during the Three Kingdoms period. Cao Cao led his troops with strict military discipline and led by example, so his army was very effective and quickly eliminated many powerful warlord forces and unified northern China.
Cao Cao saw that in the Central Plains, due to years of war, the people were scattered everywhere and the fields were barren, so he adopted the advice of his generals and ordered the soldiers and ordinary people of the army to practice tuntian. Soon, crops were planted on the barren land, and large quantities of grain were harvested. With food, the common people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the army will also have sufficient military rations, thus laying a material foundation for further reunification of the whole country. Everyone was happy to see all this.
However, some soldiers did not know how to take care of their crops, and some people often ran around in the fields and trampled on the crops. Cao Cao was very angry when he found out, and he issued an extremely severe order: all soldiers in the army must not trample on the crops, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!
The soldiers all know that Cao Cao has always given military orders, orders must be carried out, orders must be stopped, and no tolerance will be tolerated. Therefore, the soldiers were cautious and cautious, lest they violate military discipline. When the soldiers drilled and marched past the crops, they always passed carefully. Sometimes, when soldiers saw a fallen crop on the side of the road, they would go over and pick it up.
Once, Cao Cao led his soldiers to battle. At that time, it was the season when the wheat was about to ripen. Cao Cao rode on his horse, looking at the endless golden wheat waves, and his heart was very happy.
Just as Cao Cao was riding on his horse and thinking about the problem as he walked, he suddenly made a "pounce and stab" sound, and several pheasants sprang out of the grass on the side of the road and flew over Cao Cao's horse. Cao Cao's horse was defenseless and frightened by the sudden situation. It screamed and ran into a nearby wheat field. By the time Cao Cao reined in the startled horse, a large piece of wheat in the field had been trampled down.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Cao Cao called the magistrate and said to him very seriously: "Today, my horse trampled on the wheat field and violated military discipline, please punish me according to military law!" ”
After listening to Cao Cao's words, the law enforcement officer made a difficulty. According to the military discipline formulated by Cao Cao, trampling on the crops is punishable by death. However, Cao Cao is the commander, and the military discipline is also formulated by him, how can he be punished for his crimes?
Thinking of this, the law enforcement officer said to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, according to the ancient system of 'not punishing a doctor', you don't have to accept the guilt." ”
"How can this work?" Cao Cao said, "If high-ranking officials above the doctor level can be exempt from the law, then what use is the law? Besides, I gave this military order to punish the crime of death for ruining the crops, and if I don't carry it out myself, how can I let the soldiers carry it out? ”
"This ......," the magistrate hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Prime Minister, your horse was frightened before rushing into the wheat field, and it was not that you deliberately violated military discipline and trampled on the crops, so I think you should be exempt from punishment!" ”
"Nope! You don't make sense. If everyone violates military discipline and finds some reason to be exempted from punishment, then the military order will not become a dead letter? Everyone has to abide by military discipline, so how can I be an exception? ”
Sweat broke out on the magistrate's head, he thought for a moment and said, "Prime Minister, you are the commander of the whole army, if you follow the military order, then who will command the war?" Besides, the court can't live without the prime minister, and the people can't do without you! ”
When the generals saw the law enforcement officer say this, they also stepped forward and begged, asking Cao Cao not to punish him.
Seeing everyone's plea, Cao Cao pondered for a while and said, "I am the boss, and it is not appropriate to punish the crime of death." However, if there is no capital punishment, there will be a punishment, so let me replace my head (i.e., my head) with my hair! With that, he drew his sword and cut off a handful of his own hair.
